How to use oil blotting paper?

Many people with oily faces, or people whose faces aren’t even oily yet, but just feel that they’re shiny, will think that they have to blot, and when it starts to get oily, they’ll blot it right away. But in reality, this way of thinking is wrong! The proper way to use oil-blotting paper is:

  • Pat your face 1-2 times/day is enough. You don’t have to pat your face until it’s completely dry. Just pat it until your face isn’t oily and leaves a little bit of oil. That’s okay because this is a trick that keeps your skin from feeling dry and having to produce too much oil to add moisture.
  • Gently blot the oil. Do not rub the blotting paper back and forth or rub it hard. Your skin will be ruined. You should start blotting from the T-zone first because this area is the oiliest.
  • If you use oil blotting paper, don’t forget to add sunscreen to the area where you blot. Because using oil blotting paper also affects the effectiveness of the sunscreen you use.
  • You shouldn’t blot your face too often because it will damage your skin. After you blot, the oil will disappear. But did you know that the more you blot, the more oily your face will become? So, it’s better to blot your face moderately.
  • You should not use used oil blotting paper to blot other parts of your face, such as after wiping your forehead, then go to your cheeks. Use only one sheet to finish, it is not wasteful. This is not right! It may spread oil, bacteria, and dirt on your face that are stuck on the paper to other parts. You should change to a new sheet or use oil blotting paper on a clean part to blot the next point.
